Why not get it now?
For a few days I've been feeling like I'm rushing this one design project because I was feeling it was stopping me from doing more important work. Also I was feeling it was hard to prioritise what to contemplate or work on. And every day I would see new distinctions or principles that I wanted to work on. But they were just too much. And today I was watching this guy explaining some frame control principle and he said " Just get it now because soon I won't be teaching this" And it just hit me rushing = postponing. And a question arised "why just not get it all now" And I got some of it. I noticed before I assumed I need a proccess or a way to get things. (For a few weeks also I have been playing with the idea of directness how to do something in 0 steps) Now weirdly I see how you can "get to experience" something before you even understand what it is and learn It later. Also there is the idea of time. Anything to be experienced can only be now getting it can only be now. So just need to get it now. You can never get something as a result of a process as the process itself is only a pointer. And I'm not talking about getting it in 1 step. I'm talking about getting it in no steps. And the experience is itself direct it has no steps or concepts. What is your experience of such matters? P.S. I didn't get anything in particular, but also it wasn't nothing. So really I don't know if I got anything at all.
Is pushing past mental barriers a common part of the work?
Lately I notice I I have this thing where there's a "core personality trait" that I'm holding onto, out of fear, feeling like it really is important, and also a huge opening that starts to come, even if only briefly, when I abandon it, even just temporarily. I feel like I'm "stuck between a rock and a hard place" between holding onto this trait because of what I feel it "does for me," even if it really just seems to be comparing myself to other things and suffering, and the opening and depth of experiential prodding, "seeing what's out there" when I drop it. Could that be considered a mental "barrier?" That "resistance" to change, the impulse to maintain the familiar, or the general lack of openness? And, would you say this is a common aspect of the work, pushing past these barriers, wanting to know what is "beyond" the current level of understanding? I just wanna know
Bad News
Hey all! This is a question I’ve been working on recently and I want to stir a good conversation: What’s the best and most merciful way to give bad news? By extension, what is bad news? Does the nature of delivery change based on circumstances? Should bad news ever be withheld? Are there circumstances in which it must be given? How can it be done most mercifully? Does that change based on the giver or receiver of the news? Is timing important? Is timing more important than immediacy? Is one more wrong or right than the other? Genuinely don’t know and excited to see what anyone comes up with! I hope this is a question worthy of your time. - Chris
